RE: [doc] Dashboard bulbs.



I replaced some of mine earlier this year. I just took them down to the
local Motor factor and said have you got some of these. I think they had
both types. However replacing all your bulbs may not solve your problem, I
found that the contacts in the bulb holders had corroded a bit so good
contact wasn't made. So I went for an innovative approach, harking back to
memories of GCSE chemistry. I figured that soaking them in acid would
remove the corrosion layer, and bring back good copper. So I soaked them
for a day or so in weak acid, PEPSI! No problems since with my dashboard
bulbs.

All.

Can anyone tell me if the bulbs that fit into the dashboard binnacle 
are available at Halfords.

Gives an excellent how-to for getting to the bulbs, but lists them as
#194 or #161 bulbs. Is there a newer number? The size looks good 
forthe ones on the shelf but are available as 2.2w ,3w, 5w and 10w 
variants.
